Method Detail

addToList

public static void addToList(java.util.List<java.lang.Object> list,
                             java.lang.Object value)

Extends the given list by adding the provided object.

Parameters:

list - the list to extend

value - the value to add to the list

convertCmsObject

public static CmsObject convertCmsObject(java.lang.Object input)

Returns an OpenCms user context created from an Object.

• If the input is already a CmsObject, it is casted and returned unchanged.
• If the input is a ServletRequest, the OpenCms user context is read from the request context.
• If the input is a PageContext, the OpenCms user context is read from the request of the page context.
• Otherwise the input is converted to a String which should be a user name, and creation of a OpenCms user context with this name is attempted. Please note that this will only work if the user name is either the "Guest" user or the "Export" user.
• If no valid OpenCms user context could be created with all of the above, then a new user context for the "Guest" user is created.

Parameters:

input - the input to create an OpenCms user context from

Returns:

an OpenCms user context created from an Object

convertDate

public static java.util.Date convertDate(java.lang.Object input)

Returns a Date created from an Object.

• The Object is first checked if it is a Date already, if so it is casted and returned unchanged.
• If not, the input is checked if it is a Long, and if so the Date is created from the Long value.
• If it's not a Date and not a Long, the Object is transformed to a String and then it's tried to parse a Long out of the String.
• If this fails, it is tried to parse as a Date using the default date formatting.
• If this also fails, a new Date is returned that has been initialized with 0.

Parameters:

input - the Object to create a Date from

Returns:

a Date created from the given Object

convertList

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Object> convertList(java.util.List<java.lang.Object> input,
                                                           java.lang.String attributeName)

Returns a list of attribute values specified by the attribute name of the items of the given list.

Parameters:

input - the list of objects to obtain the attribute values from

attributeName - the name of the attribute to obtain

Returns:

a list of attributes specified by the attribute name of the items of the given list

convertLocale

public static java.util.Locale convertLocale(java.lang.Object input)

Returns a Locale created from an Object.

• The Object is first checked if it is a Locale already, if so it is casted and returned.
• If not, the input is transformed to a String and then a Locale lookup with this String is done.
• If the locale lookup fails, the OpenCms default locale is returned.

Parameters:

input - the Object to create a Locale from

Returns:

a Locale created from the given Object

convertRequest

public static javax.servlet.ServletRequest convertRequest(java.lang.Object input)

Tries to convert the given input object into a request.

This is only possible if the input object is already a request or if it is a page context.

If everything else, this method returns null.

Parameters:

input - the input object to convert to a request

Returns:

a request object, or null

convertResource

public static CmsResource convertResource(CmsObject cms,
                                          java.lang.Object input)
                                   throws CmsException

Returns a resource created from an Object.

• If the input is already a CmsResource, it is casted to the resource and returned unchanged.
• If the input is a String, the given OpenCms context is used to read a resource with this name from the VFS.
• If the input is a CmsUUID, the given OpenCms context is used to read a resource with this UUID from the VFS.
• Otherwise the input is converted to a String, and then the given OpenCms context is used to read a resource with this name from the VFS.

Parameters:

cms - the current OpenCms user context

input - the input to create a resource from

Returns:

a resource created from the given Object

Throws:

CmsException - in case of errors accessing the OpenCms VFS for reading the resource

convertUUID

public static CmsUUID convertUUID(java.lang.Object input)

Returns a CmsUUID created from an Object.

• The Object is first checked if it is a CmsUUID already, if so it is casted and returned.
• If not, the input is transformed to a byte[] and a new CmsUUID is created with this byte[].
• Otherwise the input is casted to a String and a new CmsUUID is created with this String.

Parameters:

input - the Object to create a CmsUUID from

Returns:

a CmsUUID created from the given Object

createList

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Object> createList()

Returns a newly created, empty List object.
